#1 WBC super featherweight title: Robson Conceição vs. O'Shaquie Foster
Robson Conceição vs. O'Shaquie Foster is a fight that fans have already seen play out, having previously featured as the co-main event of Shakur Stevenson's win over Artem Harutyunyan. During their first outing, Conceição was declared the victor via split-decision.
However, the Brazilian's win was tainted by robbery allegations. In the eyes of many, he couldn't have won more than two or three rounds, as Foster's defensive wizardry proved too great a barrier. And barring another questionable decision from the judges, Foster should beat Conceição in their rematch.
Foster is a slick technician against whom most boxers struggle to land clean, with Conceição having landed around 11% of his punches. Unfortunately, Foster is far too content with admiring the beauty of defensive work, hardly ever committing to a shot heavy enough to reliably steal rounds.
Instead, he resigns himself to not getting hit while landing pitter-patter punches, and doing little to break out of the clinch or even engage in dirty boxing during. The rematch ought to play out differently, especially as it may be Foster's last chance at snatching the WBC super featherweight title he should have won last time.
Look for Foster to fight with more urgency and score a unanimous decision win.
The Prediction: O'Shaquie Foster via unanimous decision
